I’m trying not to get excited.
I pull up and the car.....I should say, the shell of the car, is outside. Not much else is out there with it, so business is quiet. Good. The hood, doors and trunk lid are inside being worked on. He’d painted the door jambs and the underhood area of the front fenders and wanted approval of the color. Approval given. It looked GREAT. Sorry....nice.
The door/ rear qtr gap? I was told I’d be happy. We discussed flatbedding it to Bham for the roof installation. He didn’t really want to drive it to Bham freshly painted. I concurred. That’s one of those things I’ve woken up in the middle of the night thinking about over the last months.
So. Progress.
How long? If I get it back before Christmas, I’ll be surprised.
